Much of what we play was originally written for, or developed on, instruments other than mandolin (excluding, obviously, mandolin instruction material). So the author often won't know or care what position you're in, or even what instrument you're on.
Keep in mind that we all have different hands, different reaches, different strengths, and different prior experiences, so just go with it and you'll eventually get the feel & flow of what works for you.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
